Just got told my new surgery date will be August 14th. I hope it's not cancelled again because of covid. But here in jax FL it's all kind of crazy now. We will see. Start my low carb diet tomorrow.

I had my surgery on July 28th. Everything went very well but the incision pain is off the charts here in day 2. I know the gas bloating is causing a lot of it and I haven’t been able to get it out. I’ve been walking a ton too.

Anyone have a suggestion to help with this? Mentally I’m doing good but this would go a long way towards my mojo.

Yes they are but not when I’m walking. I wouldn’t worry to much on pain because the nurses and doctor do what’s needed to keep you comfortable. Incision pain ya normal but apparently I had more muscle to get in to that caused more pain after.

Oh...my muscle is pretty limited (and kind of soft and squishy LOL) so I won't have that trouble! :)

Good luck! You will do great. One thing I didn’t know is that surgery paralyzes your bladder. This will be only for a few hours or a couple days. If they do a catheter then no issue. If they don’t, it’s so bizarre to want to pee but nothing happens. They will monitor that.

I'm officially post op. The first two days were rough so I ended up staying an extra day at the hospital. Third day and I'm feeling much better. Working on my Water intake and lots of naps.

Leg cramps could be caused by electrolyte imbalance (Potassium and/or magnesium deficiency) related to all of your recent diet changes (liquid-regular-liquid again). Just give a heads up to your surgeon. Good thoughts for a boring surgery coming your way!

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks
